Riemann-Hilbert problems for the resolved conifold

Algebraic Geometry 2020-06-25 v6 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We study the Riemann-Hilbert problems associated to the Donaldson-Thomas theory of the resolved conifold. We give explicit solutions in terms of the Barnes double and triple sine functions. We show that the corresponding tau function is a non-perturbative partition function, in the sense that its asymptotic expansion coincides with the topological string partition function.
